International Student Admissions

We have uploaded some terrific photos of our recent International Dinner, sponsored by Allegheny’s own International Club. The evening featured cultural performances as well as traditional costumes from around the world– not to mention some delicious international cuisine! We hope that you will check out the photos on our Flikr page!

The Allegheny community is gearing up for International Education Week 2011. This year’s week-long celebration includes events such as an international photo contest, an informational fair about Allegheny’s vast opportunities for international travel, and a special lecture by Peacework’s Stephen Darr. The week concludes on Sunday, with our vastly popular International Dinner, sponsored by Allegheny’s International Club.

Our new academic year is in full swing, and we are proud to welcome so many new international students into the Allegheny community.

Our hearts and thoughts go out to everyone in Japan and throughout the Pacific who were impacted by this horrible earthquake and tsunami. [3/11/11 - 9:25am]
